I General Information about the Fibaro System

FIBARO is a wireless system based on Z-Wave technology, offering advantages over similar systems. Unlike traditional radio systems where signals can be weakened by obstacles, FIBARO devices act as signal "duplicators", creating a mesh network that routes signals through intermediate devices if a direct path is unavailable.

FIBARO is a bi-directional wireless system, meaning devices not only send signals but also confirm reception, ensuring status accuracy. The transmission safety is comparable to wired systems.

FIBARO operates in a free data transmission band, with frequencies dependent on regional regulations. Each FIBARO network has a unique network identification number (home ID), preventing interference between multiple systems in the same building.

Z-Wave is a recognized standard, with many manufacturers offering compatible solutions, ensuring system expandability. More information is available at www.fibaro.com.

The system generates a dynamic network structure, automatically updating device locations in real-time through status confirmation signals from devices operating in the mesh network.

The In-Wall Double Relay Switch, referred to as Fibaro Switch, is designed to switch connected devices on/off using radio waves, controllers, or directly connected push buttons.

Antenna Placement Tips

Tips for Arranging the Antenna

• ℹ️ Locate the antenna as far as possible from metal elements (connecting wires, bracket rings) to prevent interference.
• ℹ️ Metal surfaces near the antenna (e.g., flush-mounted metal boxes, metal door frames) can impair signal reception.
• ℹ️ Do not cut or shorten the antenna; its length is optimized for the system's operating band.
• ℹ️ Only the push-button connected to S1 terminal and the service push-button B enable "learning" mode (Include/Exclude).

Z-Wave Dictionary

Dictionary

• Adding (Inclusion): Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing the device to be added to an existing Z-Wave network.
• Removing (Exclusion): Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing the device to be removed from an existing Z-Wave network.
• Association (linking devices): Direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network.
• Multi-channel association: Controlling other multi-channel devices within the Z-Wave network.

III Activating the Double Relay Switch

1. Installing the Double Relay Switch

STEP 1: Connect the device according to the wiring diagram (Figure 1). Switch on the mains voltage.

STEP 2: Place the Double Relay Switch within range of the Home Center controller, as adding mode requires direct communication.

STEP 3: Identify key no. 1 for switching circuit 1 on (refer to diagram).

STEP 4: Set the Home Center controller to add/remove mode (consult controller manual).

STEP 5: Add the Double Relay Switch to the network by pressing key no. 1 three times, or by pressing the service button B located inside the device housing. For toggle switches, perform 3 position changes.

Note: It is recommended to use a momentary switch connected to S1 during installation.

STEP 6: The controller will indicate when the device is successfully added to the network (consult controller manual).

• ❗ CAUTION: The Double Relay Switch cancels "learning" mode after key no. 1 is pressed once. Pressing key no. 1 four times will not add the device. This also applies to the service button B.
• ❗ CAUTION: The Double Relay Switch is configured by default for momentary switches. When adding with toggle switches, ensure all switch contacts are open (off) to prevent accidental activation and failed addition.

2. Resetting the Double Relay Switch

Fibaro Switch offers two reset methods:

• Method I: Reset by removing the Double Relay Switch from the existing Z-Wave network using a compatible controller (consult controller manual for include/exclude functions).
• Method II: Reset by holding the B button for 3 seconds after connecting mains voltage to the Switch.

3. Controlling with Momentary or Toggle Switches

• Momentary switch: Briefly press the corresponding push-button to turn circuit 1 or 2 on/off. The button returns to its original position after release.
• Toggle switch: Change the position of the selected push-button to turn the circuit on or off.

4. Controlling with ALL ON / ALL OFF Commands

The Fibaro Switch responds to ALL ON / ALL OFF commands, typically sent by Z-Wave remote controls. By default, it accepts both commands. Settings can be adjusted via configuration register no. 1.

5. Controlling with Home Center Controller

Figure 3: Icons of Double Relay Switch shown by Home Center Controller

After adding the Double Fibaro Switch to the network, it is represented by two icons in the Home Center controller, each corresponding to one channel. Pressing the ON/OFF icon for each channel controls the respective device.

IV Association

Association allows the Fibaro Switch to directly control other Z-Wave devices, such as Dimmers, Switches, Roller Shutters, or scenes, without involving the main controller. This ensures direct command transfer.

Fibaro Switch supports three association groups:

• 1st group: Assigned to key no. 1.
• 2nd group: Assigned to key no. 2.
• 3rd group: Reports device status. Only one device can be associated with this group.

Fibaro Switch can control up to 5 normal devices and 5 MultiChannel devices in groups 1 and 2. Group 3 has one field reserved for the network controller.

To add an association using the Home Center controller, navigate to device options, select the "device options" tab, and specify the group and devices to be associated. Command transmission to associated groups may take several minutes.

• ❗ WARNING: If a new control command is issued while the Fibaro Switch is sending commands, the current transmission is interrupted to send the new command.

The FGS-222 Double Relay Switch supports multi-channel devices, where each independent circuit within a single unit is recognized as a separate device by the Home Center controller. The first channel is the main channel, operated by the push-button connected to S1. The second channel's association can only be operated by devices supporting multi-channel association.

V Configuration

The following settings are available in the Fibaro interface as simple options selectable via checkboxes. To configure the Fibaro Switch using the Home Center controller, navigate to device options and select the "Advanced" tab.
